Deciding whether or not to add the diversion based on the version
alone fails quite hard in case pve-kernel-helper is in dpkg-state 'rc'
(removed not purged) as reported in our community forum[0]:
* removing pve-kernel-helper removes the diversion of grub-install
* if config-files are still present the preinst script gets called
with the version of the config-files (the version that got removed)
* if the version was newer than 6.4-1~ then no diversion is added
* unpacking fails, because grub-install would be overwritten leaving
pve-kernel-helper in state 'ic'
Explicitly checking whether the diversion is in place sounds like a
robust approach here.
downside: documentation on dpkg-divert in maintainer scripts [1] uses
the version approach.

if a (legacy) system is booted with proxmox-boot-tool, running
`grub-install` without being aware of the fact can render the system
unbootable (e.g. when letting the early stage point to an incompatible
zpool instead of the ESP).
To prevent this we add a dpkg-diversion [0], which simply checks if
`proxmox-boot-tool status` indicates that proxmox-boot is used and
errors out in that case, and runs the actual grub-install else.

If the system seems to be booted using proxmox-boot, write a header at
the beginning of the grub.cfg generated when running `update-grub`
Additionally print a warning in case the script is run interactively.
This is determined by checking for DPKG_VERSION, which is set when
running as post-inst task (after a kernel install/removal)
and for PVE_EFIBOOT_UNSHARED, which is set by proxmox-boot-tool when
running `proxmox-boot-tool refresh.`

in order to be consistent with the renaming of pve-efiboot-tool to
proxmox-boot-tool.
Sending as separate patch, since it changes and removes a file in
'/etc', which could be considered part of the external 'api' of
proxmox-boot-tool

We will be using the mechanics also for ZFS systems booting with BIOS
legacy boot, and the tool is used also in PMG and PBS.
A symlink is kept in place for compatibility reasons
The hook scripts are marked as conffiles (as all files in /etc) and
are handled by dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) via dh_installdeb(1)
